Memories



With abandonment

We love totally blinded

To live forever

Some relationships just mysteriously happen. 


But whatever the consequences, do you ever really forget them?

Salute.


A senryu must be exactly 3 lines.


Like a Haiku, a senryu must follow the 5-7-5 format:


The first line must have 5 syllables.


The second line must have 7 syllables.


The third line must have 5 syllables.


A senryu focuses on humans and usually contains irony.


It usually focuses on human nature.


It is not written about nature or the seasons.


A senryu does not have to rhyme.
